Hello Gill, R. War. R is Royal Warwickshire Regiment, MGC as you mention is Machine Gun Corps. I think the 101B 6 Page 599 might be the roll and page number, but other listers no doubt will confirm or otherwise. Might be of some help regards Peter Fellowes ----- Original Message ----- From: <SHAWGILLDAVE@aol.com> To: <GREATWAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 2:43 PM Subject: [GREATWAR] Re Medal card > Dear Listers, > I have downloaded the medal card for WILLIAM HENRY CRAMP from the National > archives online.
